Compiled list of issues / bugs with Bronco Build & Price

[PhoenixM3]

Just heard from my dealer. The much touted and bragged about slide out tailgate is not going to make it in MY21. Ford is really screwing this up by advertising and promoting certain features and then not making them available.

Bummer.

With all this nonsense I have finally settled on my build.

TFL Supports your decision. Don't forget the 200 mile Dealership Engine Light Maintenance and Camera System Swap.

Badlands won’t let me add 2.7L engine with paint protection... what does one have to do with the other? Hopefully a glitch.

The increased speed that you get in the 2.7 will cause the paint protection to come off. It’s like the space shuttle taking off. Weeee....

Rock rails were supposed to be included also but now they cost extra on Ford’s “most capable” bronco style, BL.

everyone keeps saying this and while yes, there is an option to buy them on the badlands page, if you click on details it says “standard on badlands”. So just don’t buy them and you’re set.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure the sway bar disconnect is only Badlands and not on any trim with Sasquatch. I could be wrong but thought it was exclusive to Badlands front and rear diff for sure on all Sasquatch but not sway bar

According to the specs that have been stickied at the top of this forum since reveal date, disco is only available on Badlands and FE.

Until the vehicle gets shipped to the dealership without them.

I edited the disconnect post at 11am to say it's just Badlands. Not sure why it's not showing in your quote.

As for the late availability, that's in regard to the Mansquatch.

would be nice if the roof and doors came off and it had a manual transmission otherwise just another SUV.

Maybe I should try laptop b&p. I haven’t seen “details” using my cell phone.
thank you!!

All,

I suspect Ford will work out the kinks in B&P, but I suggest it would be good to identify these discrepancies (glitches, conflicts in selecting options/packages among trim level, etc..) in hopes that improvements can be brought about more quickly.

Please list your substantiated gripe/s in a concise thought like, “Unable to select manual transmission when Sasquatch Package is selected in any trim level“, or “Can’t get power seats without leather trimmed seats” Some of these points may legitimate issues with the B&P, some are just gripes about option limitations.

MODS, if you care to consider consolidating this in another sub-forum, making it a sticky note, or deleting it altogether please go ahead.

Edit: Thanks to Jayhawkco for compiling most of the following...

The auto with the 2.7 is included if you opt for the engine, the 10 speed auto has a price but I feel like they only charge you for it if you keep the 2.3 litre engine. I tried this a few times and it seems to be working just fine, either you take what is standard, pay for the 2.7 v6 or pay for the 10 speed auto while keeping the 2.3 4 cylinder, but I'm liking the fact that opting for the 2.7 bundles them together.

Same on the Black Diamond. Hopefully a glitch and oversight. They still have it listed as a standard equipment elsewhere.

Until the vehicle gets shipped to the dealership without them.

EXACTLY. It needs to be corrected. Other things too. We MUST know at the time of ordering exactly what we are getting. I fear many Dealers will not have all the answers and when it comes to ordering accessory items....will know less about fitment issues, what else you need to order to make something else fit/work. Having this many options and accessories from Ford, is new to Ford....but they need to fix B&P and get more specifics. One thing....where are all the other accessories?

With all this nonsense I have finally settled on my build.

You might want to get some pricing on general services on it first. Oil change $600.
